I think someone is being trolled.
"If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen cockpit!"
That being said, the cockpit is not place for a hypersensitive whiner reqardless of gender.
If someone can be sent into “shock” by a stupid note of this nature, they probably shouldn’t be trusted to pilot a commercial airliner.
Shocked? Really?
If she is confident and competent, she just thinks “F-You buddy” and throws away the napkin and never even think about the incident again.
I vote HOAX. She posted the note on Facebook. Dead giveaway.
What first time? Oh yes, Oh btw ... Oh I’m a virgin airline.
In the sixties my sister was stationed at a training base (As I recall, in Texas.) A flight of Muslim princes and high born took off with a male controller. When they returned the controller was a woman. They all turned off their radios. Several planes were damaged. The commander was furious. As I recall, nothing happened to them because they were all important men. (I want to say they were Kuwaiti or Saudi, but it’s been too long for certainty.)
An ‘unliberated’ pioneer woman leading a covered wagon across Canada would have either punched the guy or laughed it off. Modern liberated women practically go into fainting spells.
This thread isn’t quite fully useful yet.
If the crew is in shock that there are idiots in the world maybe they aren’t fit to staff an airplane.
“In shock”?Over a note?Jeez,it’s not like somebody shot her dog.
What we invariably find in these cases is that the victim is usually the person who wrote the note.
That being said, I certainly would not want any person who would be “shocked” by a silly note to be in charge of navigating a vessel with me or my family on board. Anyone with that thin of a skin has no business being the pilot of an airship.
Gasp! Not the note! Anything but the sexist note!
I can’t believe the cleaning crew gave it to her. I would have just thrown it away after making an editorial comment about the writer. Not worth the bandwidth to pass along some idiot’s ill will to others.
The most important thing to note in this story is that the napkin was Green Seal Certified.
I guess that makes up for the 20,000 pounds of carbon that the airplane leaves in the stratosphere every day.
This is such a non-story if even true. Big whup! as Rush would say.
So sick of these bullchit fake notes on TIPS and NAPKINS and the companies are always supposed to pay.
How hard is it to check the passenger manifest for “David” and identify the guy?
Instead of all of this fainting over the note?
In what cultures is normal for passengers to applaud the crew for landing the plane? I've encountered this frequently when traveling to South America and my recollection is that it also happened on Alitalia flights into Rome and Milan. I don't ever remember applause breaking out upon landing on a flight where the majority of passengers were American or British.
